    The good parts of the show are lost when you completely bend the knee to Jon Gruden. Have the guy on, but don’t act like the guy is the greatest thing around. You continue to alienate large portions of your audience. I’ll check back in a year.

  • Updating my 1 star review

    Checked in after a long break and last week the station that supported Sarah Spain and many other women just posted an hour focused on googling women 20-40 years their junior. It started as a joke and made it’s way to awful. My childhood Waddle jersey (who has several daughters and lets it slide) will continue to gather cobwebs

    My favorite listen. My only complaint is that it is no longer on Spotify, so I have to listen here. Why?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

3/10 5 PM: Michael Wilbon
Q: Michael, how are you feeling about what the Bears have done in free agency?
Wilbon indicates he's cautiously optimistic but emphasizes the need for a sustainable plan, balancing signings with using draft picks to shore up the interior and defensive line so the team can contend, rather than overpaying for big-name free agents.
3/5 2 PM: DJ Moore traded to the Bills
Q: What do you think the Bears should do next after trading DJ Moore?
The Bears should look at cheaper, high-impact options like a strong center upgrade (Linderbaum or a cheaper alternative), pursue a top-edge rusher if affordable, and use the extra draft currency to build depth and youth across the defense and offensive line.
3/3 5 PM: Michael Wilbon
Q: Does Drew Dahlman's retirement increase your worry about left tackle?
Wilbon agreed, noting the importance of not just having a strong left tackle but also maintaining cohesion across the offensive line.
3/3 5 PM: Michael Wilbon
Q: What went through your mind when you heard the news about Drew Dahlman's retirement?
Wilbon expressed his shock, stating that it was a major blow to an offensive line that had improved significantly.
2/27 5 PM: Bears in the left tackle market?
Q: What did you think of that?
He spoke for a long time to basically say, we probably don't have enough to acquire someone to really build around at Left Tackle.
